I try to focus on main and secondary Riders now, mostly Shinkocchou Seihou, but big collections from shows with a large amount of Riders are very impressive, no doubt about that. |

Ghost I didn't care about at all as a show. The main 3 Riders are good enough for me just for the collection's sake. Ex-Aid though? I may just go all in. Quote:
That being said, I think the Den-O line is still good. Nowhere near Kabuto or W levels of aging badly.

(FTR, the back row is Wizard, retail Ex-Aid, OOO, Faiz, Ghost, and Ryuki. Ryuki really only landed there due to balancing the display.) |

The Den-O figuarts are all still solid purchases IMO. They're there with Ryuki as Figuarts that stack up decently enough to current Figuarts offerings. I only have two issues with them when compared to current Figuarts. The helmets seem ever so slightly smushed and I have difficultly imagining a human's head being in there and they're smaller than some of the current releases (which is true of Ryuki as well), but I think the S.S. line is slightly up-scaled anyway. I know Kuuga and Agito definitely were when I compared them to other Riders.

I agree fully with MaskedRiderAsakura above. My current Rider display is in three tiers arranged by the quality of figures, with the Shinkocchou Seihou Riders in front. Den-O is on the next tier back among good company like Drive and Gaim.

I've got a question. Is there a reason why King Joe from UltraSeven is like $75? All of the others are $55 so that price jump just blows my mind. Is there an accessory he comes with? I mean, Ultraman was $75, but he came with buildings, his beam effect, a space ship, and stuff. I'm deciding if I should preorder him whenever he comes up on AmiAmi or just get the US release of him.

But I'd be lying if I didn't say I find the price off putting, as I was with Baltan. Perhaps not completely unjustifiable, but a personal gripe since I love the design but can't justify the price on a personal level. Anyway, I'd just get the US release unless you wanna grab two or three more things on AmiAmi. He's cheaper on there, but by himself and after shipping it wouldn't be worth it. (Plus if there are any QC issues Amazon would be easier to deal with.) |

*facepalm*
Good to know. There was no reason to expect this, was there? I now feel more than a little silly for placing an import order. |

Not really. They tend to be kind of hit-and-miss with Riders and I can't think of the last time they brought over a Second Rider.
